Two men promised a $1.1 million 3D printer could fix this town’s housing crisis.

To this day, the one duplex it printed still isn’t finished.

A $590,000 deposit for the printer was forfeited.

And the more we asked questions, the weirder things got.

Wow. DOJ is indeed hiring attorneys whose primary job will be filing eminent domain and condemnation cases to seize private land (mostly in Texas) on which to build border wall.

Scientists in Atlanta were stopped from criticizing the Trump admin at a scientific conference, so let me do it here:

Trump is destroying biomedical research in America, and it will take decades to get back on track. 

Spread the word. Stand up for science.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.   

Trump’s DOJ just shut down a federal investigation into a coal company owned by Sen. Jim Justice, one of his closest allies, after it racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations for dumping dangerous chemicals into our waterways. A veteran federal prosecutor with 24 years on the job said he had never seen anything like it.  

The man who killed the case was Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal defense lawyer and current Acting Attorney General. This is the same guy who just gave Trump, his family, and his companies permanent immunity from IRS audits. Now Trump wants the Senate to make Blanche’s appointment permanent too.  

Equal justice under law was never supposed to come with exceptions for the President’s friends.  

The pattern isn’t subtle: protect Trump’s friends, prosecute his critics, and get rewarded with more power. That is corruption, plain and simple. Todd Blanche must not be confirmed.

The Trump DOJ is now arguing in federal court that Elon Musk’s AI company should be allowed to run dozens of unpermitted gas turbines polluting a Black community in Mississippi. They also argued the federal government should have the power to shut down citizen lawsuits like this one entirely. 

This is the Justice Department intervening on behalf of a polluter, against the people breathing the air it’s polluting. 

That’s not protecting national security. That’s protecting Elon Musk. 

Elon Musk just became a trillionaire. The community next to his data center is breathing smog-forming nitrogen oxide and formaldehyde.

💰🇮🇷 The Trump administration will enable Iran’s access to $6 billion in frozen oil revenues held in Qatar as part of the new U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding, according to a diplomat cited by the Financial Times.

The funds, originally transferred from South Korea to Qatar under a 2023 prisoner exchange deal, would reportedly be released in phases during the 60-day interim period and could only be used to purchase humanitarian and other non-sanctioned goods from the United States.

The Financial Times reports the proposal is tied to progress in implementing the agreement, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz and advancing negotiations toward a final settlement.

A U.S. official told the FT that any release of frozen assets would depend on Iran’s “good behaviour” during talks, while another source suggested that the plan remains under discussion and has not yet been finalized.

Iranian state-affiliated media has reported that Tehran expects between $12 billion to $25 billion in frozen funds to be released during the interim period.

It’s all in the DOJ evidence. The emails may be split up to make piecing it together harder. But it’s there in black & white.
There’s Epstein in Trump Tower days after the 2016 election emailing a friend about a Cabinet position.

Can we just quit giving Americans’ hard earned money to this blood thirsty war criminal? Peace in the Middle East would follow quickly.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Last night, our long-range sanctions once again reached the Moscow region – for the second time this week, the Moscow oil refinery was hit. Targets were also struck in the Rostov region and in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. This is a fully justified response to Russian attacks on our cities and communities, and another important result of our warriors’ work against facilities that sustain Russia’s war machine. I thank our Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine for their coordinated efforts – the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, Defense Intelligence, and our missile brigade for their precision.

In recent days, all of our partners have noted the precision and effectiveness of our mid-range strikes and long-range sanctions. It is time the war ended, and Russia must take the necessary steps in diplomacy.

If you were to write this headline or article in a variety of US, UK, German or French media outlets, your career might be on the line and you’d probably be accused of antisemitism.

And yet the author of this piece is a former prime minister for Israel.

Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.

Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.

The GOP swears they’d “never cut” Social Security— Sen. Mike Lee is on tape saying he wants to pull it “up by the roots & get rid of it entirely.”

Believe their words—this has always been THE PLAN.

They’re stealing our MONEY.

🚨Americans should know this: There are around 800,000 to 900,000 jewish settlers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and none of them work. They live off government funding — free housing, free healthcare, free everything.
And your tax dollars pay for it.
